Cellular Respiration and Rigor Mortis Cellular respiration is a metabolic process where the body uses organic molecules to produce energy. One of the greatest energy sources that our body uses is glucose. In cellular respiration glucose is broken down‚ and the energy from those bonds is used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are two types of respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. In aerobic respiration there are 3 main steps: Glycolysis‚ Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)‚ and Oxidative Phosphorylation

ability is not a perfect science‚ but they figure out what they need to through process of elimination and logic. When the investigator enters the scene and come upon a corpse time is ticking and an estimated time of death is important. Rigor Mortis gives an approximate time of death‚ but is it accurate enough to be used during an investigation when time is of the essence? To make this determination we must first understand what rigor mortis is and to do that we must understand how the muscles

The Liver is the largest internal organ in the human body. The liver is the body’s processing and “manufacturing” plant. It has hundreds of roles but the most important is adjusting and monitoring the chemical composition of your blood‚ breaking down food to convert it into energy when you need it. It also helps you fight infections. Its dark color is because of a rich blood supply. In the average adult is is about 8 inches wide‚ 6.5 inches long and 4.5 inches thick and weighs approximately 3.5

Ligaments.—The liver is connected to the under surface of the diaphragm and to the anterior wall of the abdomen by five ligaments; four of these—the falciform‚ the coronary‚ and the two lateral—are peritoneal folds; the fifth‚ the round ligament‚is a fibrous cord‚ the obliterated umbilical vein. The liver is also attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach by the hepatogastric and to the duodenum by the hepatoduodenal ligament (see page 1157). 17 The falciform ligament (ligamentum falciforme
